Kitchen appliance having a storage device

Abstract

An electric motor-driven kitchen appliance includes at least one coupling site for a plurality of tools for processing foodstuffs, and a storage facility which is made of a flexible material for storing the plurality of tools. The use of a flexible material for the storage facility simplifies handling because the storage facility is relatively light and easy to clean. Because of the flexible material, various tools can be used for storage because the storage facility can adapt flexibly to the outer shape of the tools. When the storage facility holds no tools or only a small number of tools, it can easily be pressed or folded together, which also leads to a space-saving storage of the storage device itself.
